Andi Eigenmann: My daughter inspires me to work

"KAHIT Puso'y Masugatan" actress Andi Eigenmann said her nine-month old daughter, Adrianna Gabrielle, motivates her to work more and better her craft in the show business.

After what she went through last year, a happy Andi faced the entertainment press at the 6th Star Magic Ball held at the Makati Shangri-la Hotel last Saturday.

According to her, she's very happy now with the success of her primetime series with Jake Cuenca, Iza Calzado, and Gabby Concepcion.

She's also thrilled to talk about baby Ellie, whom Andy described as a future supermodel. She said she is determined to provide a comfortable life to her daughter.

"I know it is for her future anyway. When I can, I make Ellie go to the set to visit me and we play there. Sometimes I compromise the amount of sleep that I have so that when I get home, I could play with her," she said.

The young actress said she's approached things differently now ever since Ellie came to her life.

"There's more sense of maturity that I'm required to have. I have to stand on my two feet. There's no time for me to feel down because there's another life I'm taking care of and raising," Andi said.

"I also took the responsibility of that completely so I'm going to do my best no matter what. I'm so happy to have her in my life. She's such a happy baby. She looks like a little marshmallow. She's my happiness," she further said.

Andi added that the people she worked closely with also noticed her maturity as an actress. They say she's more driven and focus now.

"I wouldn't know that myself (changes). But according to other people, it is noticeable. Whenever I do my job, when I'm in front of the camera, it is more obvious now that I'm into my job. I'm really trying to give my best all the time," she said.

In the coming months, Andi will be working opposite Anne Curtis and Derek Ramsay in a new movie. She said this is her most mature and daring role in the big screen.

"This project I agreed on it because it's a challenge for me. A challenge that I think would be really cool to take at this point in my life. I just hope that it will turn out well," she ended. (Sunnex)
